One apartment had 37 rooms, 14 bathrooms, 43 closets, 11 working fireplaces, a private elevator, and his-and-hers saunas; another at one time had a live-in service staff of 16. To this day, it is steeped in the kind of luxury most of us could only imagine. The last great building to go up along New York's Gold Coast, construction on 740 Park finished in 1930. Once finished, 740 became a magnet for the richest, oldest families in the country. Nowadays, it is bursting with new money, people whose fortunes, though freshly-made, are large enough to buy their way in. At its core this book is a social history of the American rich, but it's also filled with meaty, startling, often tragic stories of the people who lived behind 740's walls.--From publisher description. 000453471 61020 $$a740 Park Avenue (New York, N.Y.)$$xHistory. 000453471 650_0 $$aApartment houses$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York$$xHistory. 000453471 650_0 $$aApartments$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York$$xHistory. 000453471 650_0 $$aRich people$$zNew York (State)$$zNew York$$vBiography. 000453471 651_0 $$aPark Avenue (New York, N.Y.)$$xSocial life and customs. 000453471 651_0 $$aPark Avenue (New York, N.Y.)$$vBiography. 000453471 651_0 $$aNew York (N.Y.)$$vBiography. 000453471 651_0 $$aNew York (N.Y.)$$xSocial life and customs. 000453471 651_0 $$aNew York (N.Y.)$$xBuildings, structures, etc. 000453471 651_0 $$aNew York (N.Y.)$$xEconomic conditions. 000453471 85200 $$bgen$$hF128.67.P3$$iG76$$i2005 000453471 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0625/2005050127-b.html$$zContributor biographical information 000453471 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0625/2005050127-d.html$$zPublisher description 000453471 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0625/2005050127-s.html$$zSample text 000453471 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:453471$$pGLOBAL_SET 000453471 980__ $$aBIB 000453471 980__ $$aBOOK
